Current Articles: (1/13) Grain export hub opens on local port terminal
Staff report - Thursday, January 13, 2011
A Midwest company has opened a grain-handling operation on a local
shipping terminal.
The State Ports Authority said today that The Scoular Co.’s new facility
in Mount Pleasant could export more than 25 million pounds of product
annually.
The operation is based on the Wando Welch Terminal. It is set up to load
grain from farms across the region into containers for shipment to
countries around the world. Products such as soybean, winter wheat and
corn are increasingly being transported abroad by container, the SPA said.
“This operation will serve increasing export demand and generate
significant new business through the port,” said Jim Newsome, president
and chief executive officer of the state maritime agency.
Based in Omaha, Neb., Scoular is a $3.5 billion a year business with more
than 60 locations across North America.
